All I know about Bill and Hill is good, utter goodness, so much so I heartily agree with Jorge Bergoglio’s intent to relax the rules so that living persons, non-Catholics, can be beatified and canonized. And I have no documents or flash drives with anything on them other than good goodness about soon-to-be Sts. Hill and Bill. Finally, to quote Sgt. Shultz, I know nothing! And no one survived that tragic palne crash that Ron Brown died in. Guy, Texas

Supposedly the autopsy is being conducted by a pathologist in Albany who works for the state government. I think we can wait a couple of days to see what she’s willing to put her signature to, rather than pay attention to rumors published in the Bezos Birdcage Liner.

We need to do more to stop all these senseless deaths by unlicensed bed sheets. Bed Sheets violence is an epidemic that is a scourge from our prison systems to bedroom communities in West Hollywood, California.

Tito…
It’s not just the bedsheets, however they have been taking it hard in the media.
It’s the pillowcases too.
Suffocation and strangulation.
In 1978 it was window shades and rightfully so.
In 1998 it was ottomans.
The ottoman empire debacle forced love seats to be removed from every cell room across the country.

Just read from the Washington Examiner online: New York Medical Examiner’s verdict is that Epstein’s death is a suicide. That’s too bad. Suicide is a sin, so Epstein is barred from heaven. How long will he stay in Purgatory, if that’s an option?

My mistake. The pathologist in question is employed by the NYC government. She’s ruled it a suicide.

If we were collectively serious about building a civil service, recruitment and promotion would be per competitive examinations, not pro forma examinations written by officious appellate judges. And three people in a chain-of-command could terminate an employee at their discretion, limited only by post-termination administrative hearings where the dismissed employee could present evidence he was canned for one of a half-dozen impermissible reasons (e.g. whistle-blowing), contentions he would have to prove. Collective bargaining would be unknown and unions would be voluntary associations whose work would be limited to providing insurance, annuities, and the service of labor lawyers. And in such a regime, the guards on shift and the jail warden would already have hit the bricks.

Art, Thank you for “Recall Mortimer Adler’s rejoinder: “OK, but the cover is what the publisher wants you to see…first”. Perhaps that was the best she looked all day. Clare Booth Luce reminds me of my pretty wife of sixty-three years. Her sanguine personality has habituated her face to smiling. She is as pretty has ever.
